About The Artist
ARTIST STATEMENT
The Depiction of light, devised through vibrant colors is the essence of my work! And, being outside
brings joy to my soul. It engages all of the senses; touch, smell, taste, and sight. Now, I am in my
studio. Splashes of colorful washes are applied to a blank canvas. My palette is loaded with bright
complementary colors. The sense of touch is enlightened through the application of modeling paste,
tissue paper, or found objects, natural or man-made.
As a Contemporary Impressionist artist, I experiment with light through the usage of structural impasto
acrylics. Creating beauty is a passionate enjoyment for me especially after receiving comments such as;
'Your work brought peace to my heart', 'I felt joy seeing the paradisaic scenes!' The Bible has been my
greatest inspiration and influence in what I paint. The book of Isaiah speaks of a future paradise where
mankind and animals will exist in peace and security on a paradise earth. Meanwhile, I try to maintain
a positive attitude and show empathy toward others. I will continue to explore and create 'PAINTINGS
OF PARADISE'.
